Press Release:

From producer/director/co-writer Henrik Moller comes a new landmark in underground Swedish horror, inspired by equal parts H.P. Lovecraft, David Lynch, and something far more disturbing: When her daughter is abducted by her ex-husband, a young mother will track the missing child and its father to a mysterious institution. But once inside, she will find herself trapped in a hallucinatory netherworld where reality turns amorphous, survival becomes parasitic, and an infested darkness lives - and feeds - in the light. It teeters between bad dreams and outright nightmares, raves ScreenAnarchy.com. Armed with a tiny budget and a whole lot of talent, Moller has made himself quite a splash with his award-winning debut feature.

Film Review: "Rupture"

“Rupture” is a film that gained my interest when I heard about it because of the cast involved and the fact that Steve Shainberg directed this film. Yes, the same person who was behind “Secretary” back in 2002. Since then, he’s only directed one other film until now with this film.

The film is about a single mother (Noomi Rapace) who is looking forward to a weekend getaway with her boyfriend. Her plans takes a drastic turn when she is abducted by a mysterious group. There, she finds out that she is part of an experiment involving genetic abnormalities that might out her out as an alien. Can she find a way out of this horrific experiment before it’s too late? The film also stars Peter Stormare, Kerry Bishe and Michael Chiklis.

I really was hoping that I was going to like “Rupture”. The concept seemed interesting enough that I thought I would enjoy this and the fact that I like these cerebral type of horror/sci-fi film. Sadly, I didn’t enjoyed this film as I thought that this film was boring and predictable from start to finish. One of the things that made it hard to sit through was Steve Shainberg directing. The directing made this film one of those films where I wanted to do something else than watch this film. What made his directing bad was the fact the scenes were moving very slowly. I know it didn’t help that he had a bad screenplay and the tone of the film is very dark, but the scenes looked dull and direction looked lifeless. This also showed in the performance aspects as well. Shainberg doesn’t make any of his cast standout as he makes sure that everyone was delivering there lines in a tone that had one note to it. It made me bored watching the performances as everyone felt the same.

The screenplay was very worse than the direction. Brain Nelson’s screenplay felt like it was lacking a lot of things. First, I thought the beginning was completely rushed. When I like watching films of this nature, I like to get to know the characters. I didn’t here as I felt the introduction of the main character was rushed. It’s like Nelson spends ten minutes to get to know this character then rush to the main part of the film. When you’re rushing an introduction like this film did, it’s hard to get behind the main character. Second, the action in this film was boring. Nelson doesn’t make sure it had a punch to it. Instead, he makes sure that it matches the film’s tone. When you do that, you’re watching a film without any suspense and makes it feel like you’re wasting your time when you can do other things. But what I hate about this screenplay the most was the fact that it plays one note throughout. I like dark and dreary movies but when the screenwriter is playing one note throughout, it makes for a film that you wished you never seen. I was sitting and waiting for this film to end, as the action felt repetitive and didn’t care about any of the characters. He does nothing to make anything entertaining as it crashes a third of the way in and I couldn’t wait for this to be over as I had a feeling what the ending is going to be.

I thought I was going to be in for a good film with the talent involved, but instead this is one of the worst I’ve seen all year as “Rupture” implodes before it ends.

2K Restoration of Zombie Cult Classic “The Dead Next Door” Shambles to Retail as 2-Disc Collector’s Edition

Includes collectable slipcover with first pressing, plus three new bonus features

May 15, 2017 – Akron, Ohio: Tempe Entertainment today announced the launch of its Blu-ray label Tempe Digital with the September 26 release of the 1990 landmark independent shocker “The Dead Next Door.” Priced at $29.95 SRP, this 2-Disc Collector’s Edition includes the same Blu-ray from the company’s limited (and now out of print) 3-Disc Ultimate Edition, along with an all-new DVD featuring a collectable slipcover and three new bonus features.

Two and a half decades before “The Walking Dead” made zombies mainstream on cable television, 19-year-old writer/director J.R. Bookwalter (“Ozone,” “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven”) embarked on “The Dead Next Door,” an ambitious horror feature pitting an elite team of Zombie Squad soldiers against hoards of the undead and the secretive religious cult hell-bent on protecting them. The film would ultimately take four years to complete with the help of a now-famous Hollywood director and more than 1,500 Northeast Ohio residents, who portrayed the multitudes of bloodthirsty ghouls.

For this 2-Disc Collector’s Edition release, brand-new 4:3 and 16:9 1080p HD masters have been painstakingly created from a 2K restoration using the original Super-8mm film elements. Also included is a 5.1 surround mix which restores the voices of the original cast members for the first time ever, vintage and newly-prepared bonus materials, and much more. The DVD includes a 4:3 standard-definition presentation of the restored feature plus a candid audio commentary by the director recorded in 2001, which was previously only available on long out-of-print international releases.

The second disc also features an all-new 2017 interview with actor Scott Spiegel (director of cult favorites “Intruder” and “From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money”), as well as a 1999 tour of several locations where the film was shot. Rounding out the Collector’s Edition is a beautiful slipcover featuring newly-commissioned artwork, which will only be available with the first pressing of 1,000 units.

“The Dead Next Door” 2-Disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray + DVD will be available everywhere on September 26, 2017 at $29.95 SRP, with retail distribution from our partners at MVD.
